  • The Mourning Post is available to women 18 and older who have lost their mothers and wish to request cards for themselves. We do not accept card requests on behalf of others.

  • You can request cards twice per calendar year.

  • The Mourning Post was created to celebrate women throughout their grief journeys, offering support and encouragement on a variety of occasions.

    Whether it’s the anniversary of your mother’s passing, a new baby, a birthday, a big move, a new job, or any other meaningful moment or mourning milestone, we’re here for you.

    Even on the days that feel heavy for no specific reason, we’re always happy to send a little sunshine your way.

  • Currently, The Mourning Post is available only to women whose mothers have died, and wish to request cards for themselves. We want to honor the personal nature of grief, allowing each woman the space and control to seek support when she feels ready.

    If you know someone who might benefit from our service, we invite you to let them know about us, so they can reach out when it feels right for them.

  • Every card is one of a kind — handwritten by me and lovingly decorated by my five-year-old daughter. We pour heart and creativity into every card — from our kitchen table to your mailbox.

  • The Mourning Post is completely free.

    If you’re interested in donating to help us continue this service, please reach out—we’d love to hear from you.

  • As a small, but mighty, mother-daughter team working from our kitchen table, we process requests in the order they are received. While we strive to send your card as quickly as possible, we cannot guarantee specific delivery dates or timelines. You can trust that we’ll handle your request thoughtfully and with heart.

  • We’re honored to send sunshine internationally! Please note that delivery times may vary depending on where you are, and we can’t guarantee exact arrival dates.

  • We’re so honored you’d want to be part of what we’re creating. While we don’t have a formal volunteer or collaboration program in place right now, we’re always dreaming up new ways to grow. If you have an idea, we’d love to hear from you.
